Tropical Mango Avocado Kale Salad

The sun is shining and I think spring has finally arrived! Even more of a reason to whip up one of my recent salad obsessions, my Tropical Mango Avocado Kale Salad, for lunch!

Last weekend we got 22″ of snow and this past weekend after a couple days of warm weather the snow has almost melted. Today it’s suppose to get up to 70 so I suspect it will all be gone. Up until these last few days the only way to get my sunshine was to whip up and enjoy salads like this one with all the warm tropical flavors. Mangos, avocado, and coconut have been staples for weeks. Not that these foods normally aren’t as they usually are always in our kitchen I just can’t remember the last time I’ve eaten this many mangos.

Mangos are S’s favorite so I have them on hand for her but this season they are especially good so I’ve been buying at least twice as many, if not more, than usual.

I love a good salad! When it comes to salads though I have some criteria. A good salad has to have flavor, texture, and nutrition and the more of each the better. When I hear people say salads are boring I often wonder what the heck kind of salad they’re eating. My salads are anything but boring, of course I might be bias.

Crunchy cucumbers and jicama, creamy mango and avocado, and another layer of crunch with the toasted coconut chips. Fresh veggies and fruits packed with vitamins and minerals. Fiber rich kale, jicama, coconut, and avocado along with the healthy fats in the coconut and avocado keep you full and satisfied for hours.
